Car Accidents: Who Pays My Bills?
It's unfortunately one of the things that first spring to mind after a serious car accident: how can I possibly pay all these bills? Your car may be totaled. The other driver's may be, too. You and other members of your family may have been admitted to the hospital after your car accident. The total cost of the accident may easily be $100,000 or more, not counting lost wages and less tangible costs like pain and suffering and diminished quality of life. And if you are forced to miss work or are unable to return to work, it may become impossible to pay even for everyday expenses like utilities, a mortgage or rent, or groceries.
So who will pay these bills? There are a few possibilities:
- You
- Your insurance company or companies
- The other driver
- The other driver's insurance company or companies
- No one
Everyone will try to get out of paying the bills, if they can. The other driver and the insurance companies may deny responsibility or coverage. And if no one pays the bills, you may face years of aggressive collection tactics. Medical bills, including medical bills from car accidents, are a leading cause of bankruptcy, contributing to more than 60% of bankruptcies, according to a 2009 study, published in the American Journal of Medicine.
Don't let that happen. The Orlando, Florida car accident attorneys at Best & Anderson can help. Contact us today for a free consultation.
